So for those that have it hitting the body, do you do anything about it, or just let it go? I guess all it is doing is flexing the body a little in that spot.

some people i seen using heat guns to soften the body and put dents in it so it will clear..

Yes, that is a good idea. I have seen a few do that to their bodies when they put 150cc tanks in their buggies..lol. Should work the same for throttle linkage rubs.

Tin

what kind of 150cc tanks fit in a MP9. Is it legal in races?

The ST-RR may fit the MP9, I know it fits the WC 777.

That would be NO..Most club races dont really check for tank size..But it would give you an unfair advantage in racing..If you were just bashing it would be cool..if your racing it would be uncool

Front = IFW140-02
Rear = IF337

Hi Guys, Thought I would provide my first impressions of my MP9.
A month ago I was driving my MP777 at our Southern Regional Champs where I qualified 2nd and ended up 5th in the 45min 'A' main
Last week I raced my brand new MP9 at our National Champs. I did not get a chance to test drive the car prior to the event but thought 'what the hell' surely it has to be better than the old car.
Unfortunately for me this car handles WAY different and I could not get to grips with it, I found the rear end to be very 'Nervous' skipping about while the front end was so hooked up that any slight touch of steering found the car reacting very aggresively. I felt that instead of being able to attack the track I was reacting to what the car was doing. I ended up a dissapointing 25th.

I am very impressed with how free the transmission spins and how fast these cars accelerate. The front end grip and steering it can generate is incredible.
I am sure that once I have the rear end sorted it will be a very quick buggy.

Dont get me wrong, I am deffinately not putting the MP9 down and I am not blaming it for my poor showing at the Nats, as it deffinately showed that there is an animal inside that is just waiting to be tamed. I'm just suggesting that you dont rock up to a big event with one without having a few laps under you belt or it may come back to bite you.

Here are a couple photos of my ride (& yeah, I also dont like black rims )

Cheers...........Dave





PS: I wasn't running this much Toe Out in the weekend

The mp9 likes to attack turns with some throttle.

Try 1300 diff oil in the back, that will settle your car down, and drop the weight by 1000wt on the front, but personnaly i would try the rear diff with 1300 see how u like it...
